Consultation: Draft Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy

The Department for Transport has prepared a Draft Cycling and Walking Strategy for consultation, as part of a government effort "to create a walking and cycling nation". Through the consultation, the DfT is seeking:

suggestions and evidence of innovative projects and programmes which could be developed to further our goals of:

increasing cycling activity

reversing the decline in walking activity

reducing the rate of cyclists killed or seriously injured

views on how to increase cycling and walking in typically under-represented groups

views on the approach and actions set out in the strategy to meet our key objectives

views on the potential roles of government and non-government bodies in delivering the strategy, plus the how they work together

views on the assistance local authorities and local enterprise partnerships would find beneficial to support development of infrastructure plans
